Hymns are often beautifully written and filled with tons of truth. “In His Time” has both of those elements.
In a video posted to YouTube, the six Asidor children sing “In His Time,” which serves as a terrific reminder of God’s timing and our need to have patience when we call upon the Lord.
Each child gets their time to shine in the spotlight as they all take turns singing about God’s timing, our need for patience and how he is teaching us constantly.
“He makes all things beautiful in His time
Lord, please show me every day
As You’re teaching me Your way”
Then about halfway through the video, at approximately the 2:45-minute mark, all six children beautifully blend their voices together. Not only do they sing adorably, but the message - patience and waiting upon the perfect will of God - imparted through the song is one that everyone needs reminded of from time to time.
Most people have a massive problem with waiting. Everyone wants their requests fulfilled immediately. Some believe that if compelled to wait any significant amount of time, it’s already been too long.
However, the Lord does not work on our timetable. He is not required to meet our requests in a time period that we deem appropriate. No, often waiting for an answer to prayer from God requires a fair amount of patience and faith.
Others who commented on the video mentioned how much they appreciated the children singing the beloved hymn.
“This is so beautiful! I needed to hear these words again. It was really nice have the children sing too. God Bless you and your family!” one person wrote.
“Excellent job kids! They’re getting better all the time! I love this song! I needed to hear that just now!” a second person added.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.”
One talented group of musicians sang about their commitment level to Jesus Christ.
To truly follow Christ requires a high degree of devotion and dedication. God’s Word mentions that a total and complete surrender to Him and His will is necessary. James 4:7 encourages those who love and follow Him to “submit yourselves to God.”
In the song “Sold Out” by the Housefires, the musicians repeatedly state that they have given themselves entirely to the Lord. They are no longer living according to their wants, needs or desires. Instead, they have submitted wholly to the Lord and to His will for their lives.
That type of adherence and obedience to the Word of God will likely seem odd and out of place to those in the world. The musicians, in their lyrics, touch upon the idea that this act of surrender to Jesus Christ will not be understood or even appreciated by some.
However, instead of cowering and bending under the pressure, the questioning and possibly even the insults from the world, they will stay true to Christ. They will hold onto Christ, His Word and His guidance for their life.
“I don’t care what the world said
I got the Gospel running through my veins
I’m sold out, sold out for You”
While the song is simple, the meaning and weight behind its lyrics are substantial. The musicians mention many times how they have forsaken the things of this world and instead have chosen to live their lives in a way that glorifies Him.
Yes, taking such a step of complete surrender to Christ is a big move that requires a massive amount of faith. But His plan will always be bigger, better and greater than anything we could have envisioned for our life.
Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Christian musician Lauren Daigle scored a massive hit several years ago with “You Say” and it is now a popular target for covers, including one by a talented teenager in Ireland.
Allie Sherlock treats those passing by to a performance of Lauren’s smash hit “You Say,” as she plays the guitar and sings the beautifully written lyrics. Soon after Allie starts playing and singing the first verse, Allie starts amassing a crowd. Some people are spotted filming the young woman’s performance with their phones.
The lyrics aren’t the only delightful elements in the video. The Irish teen’s voice is outstanding. The young woman’s voice sounds very similar to Lauren’s as she belts out the lyrics to those who have gathered to take in the free sidewalk concert.
As odd as it may sound, while Allie does sound like Lauren in the verses, she switches things up for the chorus. When Allie reaches the song’s chorus and hits the song’s high notes, her voice will likely remind listeners of another popular singer: Miley Cyrus.
“You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And you say I am held when I am falling short”
The song, about life's highs, lows and pressures, is very well executed. The Irish teen possesses a poise and professionalism not usually seen in someone so young.
The video also shows that Allie may have won herself a devoted fan. For the last minute of the nearly four-minute clip, a young child stands just a few feet away on her right side. He is absolutely captivated and cannot take his eyes off her!
“You Say” is a powerful song with a message about the love, mercy and grace of Christ. He is always faithful and will never leave us or forsake us.
Psalm 40:3 “He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.”
This is one of my favorite songs to sing! My favorite line is “It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah “. Those broken hallelujahs are so powerful! 💜❤️
